The CalDigit HDPro offers the best gigabyte-per-dollar ratio in the world for hardware RAID storage. The HDPro is a high-performance storage solution with capacities from 8TB to 16TB. At under $1 per gigabyte, including the PCI card and all required accessories - it's a fraction of the cost compared to other products in its class.

The CalDigit HDPro uses SATA 3Gb/s drives with up to 32MB cache, this means performance that meets the needs of the most demanding video and content editing software. Each 7200-RPM SATA hard drive connects to a dedicated SATA channel to eliminate bottlenecks and maximize the 3Gb/s native SATA connection. The HDPro utilizes the fast PCIe infrastructure to connect directly to the host computer. Each PCIe lane can reach speeds of up to 250MB/s, and the HDPro has support for up to 8 lanes. This in turn means that as you add drives, the HDPro scales in both capacity and performance. This powerhouse delivers up to 450MB/s with RAID 5 protection.

The HDPro delivers sustained data throughput, providing the fastest sustained data rate in it's class. These graphs illustrate how the HDPro is able to keep up with the most demanding real world scenarios. Optimized for video playback, the HDPro means dropped frames a thing of the past.

Other RAID storage solutions are capable of playing back 10-bit 1080i uncompressed HD footage in bursts, but dropped frames are commonly experienced after just 2-3 minutes of playback. The HDPro is a true editing solution that maintains its data rates during both editing and playback!

Each HDPro holds up to 8 drive modules in a Tower or 2U affordable rack mount form factor. The hot swappable functionality of the HDPro allows users to upgrade the drive's capacity as needed, while remaining very easy to configure and set up. There is no capacity limitation to any single chassis.
